This exquisite vintage ring features a beautiful pale green natural Turquoise cabochon, bezel set in a beautifully crafted Sterling Silver mounting. Stamped with a maker's mark and 'sterling'. This ring is not Native American-made - the maker's mark is from the Pacific Jewelry Company, a manufacturing company in Santa Monica, California, active in the 1930s and 40s that mass-produced Native American-style jewelry. This ring is very cool nonetheless, and for being nearly a century old, it is in excellent condition. The top of the ring is 31.5 mm at its longest, tapering to 2.7 mm at the bottom of the band. The ring displays a dark patina typical of its age and has been cleaned but not polished.

Turquoise, an ancient and revered gemstone, is celebrated for its distinctive blue-green hues, ranging from sky blue to vibrant green. This opaque mineral, a hydrated phosphate of copper and aluminum, often features intricate matrix patterns, adding to its unique character. With a hardness of 5 to 6 on the Mohs scale, it's relatively soft, requiring gentle care. Historically significant in many cultures, particularly in Native American traditions, Turquoise is valued for its beauty and perceived protective qualities.
